Other considerations

Students must be legally permitted to work in Canada. International students must obtain a Co-op Work Permit immediately after admission to the program to be eligible for work placements.

Students who are registered in combined degree programs can be eligible for Co-operative Education programs if one of the majors is in a faculty or department in which a Co-operative Education program is offered.

Students are advised to attend an Arts Co-op Information Session for details prior to applying to the program. See CareerLink CS Event Calendar for details. If unable to attend due to time conflicts, please contact artscoop@ucalgary.ca to arrange an appointment with a Co-op Coordinator.

Transfer students from other universities will be considered for admission to the Co-operative Education program.
